Accessibility and assistive technology are very important for libraries. Libraries want to share the wealth of information they hold within their walls or any that they may have access to. At Michigan State University Library they have an assistive technology center. http://www.lib.msu.edu/about/atc/index.jsp on the site they give the viewer a map to show what they have in the center, they list the software on the computers, and they also have a list of the other technology that they have available.
- SARA Reading Machine
- Kurzweil 1000 & 3000 Scanning & Reading software
- Zoom Text Screen Enlarger
- Jaws for Windows Screen Reader
- Alva Braille Terminal ABT40 - installed on one workstation
- Clear View 700 Magnifier
You can read more about each of the technologies that they have listed. The site is very helpful, but more importantly the library is very helpful. They have many ways for people who have different needs to get all of the wealth of information that can be available!
